Information Collected - General
NCPA is the sole owner of the information collected on our site.

Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends and track users' movements throughout our site. Aggregate data—such as the number of hits per page, what pages are visited—are also collected. Aggregate data are only used for internal and marketing purposes and do not provide any personally identifying information.

From time-to-time, NCPA will feature surveys and user polls on its Web site. Participation is voluntary.

Use of Cookies
Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on a user's hard disk for use either during a particular session ("per-session" cookie) or for future use ("persistent" cookie). Cookies are used on the member's section to remember login information. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about users over the Internet or to analyze any information that users have knowingly or unknowingly provided. When a user registers, the system will ask whether the user approves of the attachment of a cookie. Users may instruct their Internet browsers to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and rather accept only a "per-session" cookie, but will need to login each time they visit the site to enjoy the full benefits. If the user declines the attachment of any cookie, the user may not have access to the full benefits of the Web site.

Privacy Issues Regarding Links To Other Sites
